Legami di Seta

By Amanda Roberts

Multi-cultural fiction, Historical fiction

Summary

Quando ero piccola, credevo che la mia vita sarebbe cominciata e terminata sulle rive del fiume Xiangjian, così come era stato per generazioni, nella mia famiglia. Non avrei mai immaginato che mi avrebbe potuto condurre alla Città Proibita, presso la… corte dell'ultima imperatrice della Cina. Nata nelle campagne più remote della provincia dell'Hunan, Yaqian, giovane ricamatrice, trova il proprio destino presso la Corte imperiale, un luogo di intrighi, desideri, e tradimenti. Dal letto di un imperatore, passando per il cuore di un principe, fino a diventare il braccio destro di un'imperatrice, Yaqian si apre la propria strada nei decenni più turbolenti della storia cinese, e diviene la principale testimone della caduta della dinastia Qing. I fan di Amy Tan, Lisa See, Anchee Min,e di Pearl S. Buck di sicuro ameranno questo romanzo d'esordio di Amanda Roberts. Lo stile descrittivo, decisamente ricco ed estremamente dettagliato, riesce a dar vita all'opulenza della corte Qing, narrata attraverso il racconto delle vite di Yaqian e dell'imperatrice Cixi, coprendo un periodo di circa sessant'anni di vita della corte.
